Senior Fullstack Engineer

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you will play a crucial role in developing and maintaining our software applications and platforms that enable seamless data management, analysis, and visualization. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including bioinformaticians, laboratory staff, and product managers, to design and implement robust and scalable solutions.

Your expertise in full-stack development will contribute to enhancing the user experience, optimizing data workflows, and advancing our mission.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, test, and deploy scalable and reliable web-based applications, tools, and platforms for plasmid sequencing, data management, and analysis. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather requirements, provide technical insights, and contribute to the overall product vision and roadmap. Develop intuitive and responsive user interfaces (UIs) that enable users to efficiently interact with large-scale genomic datasets, leveraging modern front-end frameworks and libraries.

Build and maintain back-end services, APIs, and databases to support data processing, storage, and retrieval, ensuring high performance, security, and data integrity. Implement and integrate third-party tools, libraries, and APIs to enhance system functionality and interoperability. Work closely with bioinformaticians to implement algorithms and data processing pipelines, ensuring accurate and efficient analysis of genomic data.

Design and execute testing strategies, perform code reviews, and ensure the delivery of high-quality software. Monitor and optimize application performance, troubleshoot issues, and implement necessary optimizations to ensure optimal throughput and user experience. Contribute to documentation, including technical specifications, user guides, and system diagrams, to facilitate knowledge sharing and maintain system documentation.

Qualifications

Bachelor's or higher degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field. Strong experience in full-stack web development, including both front-end and back-end technologies. Proficiency in programming languages such as JavaScript/TypeScript and Python. Experience with modern front-end frameworks and libraries (e.

g., React, Next.js), and expertise in building responsive and user-friendly UIs. Knowledge of server-side frameworks and technologies for building scalable and RESTful APIs. Proficiency in database technologies, such as PostgreSQL, and familiarity with SQL and database design principles. Experience with version control systems (e.

g., Git), agile software development methodologies, and CI/CD practices. Understanding of cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and knowledge of deploying and scaling applications in cloud environments. Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to design and implement elegant and efficient solutions. Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a team-oriented environment.

Preferred Qualifications

Familiarity with bioinformatics tools, genomics data processing, and analysis pipelines. Experience with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker) and orchestration tools (e.g., Kubernetes). Knowledge of data visualization libraries and techniques for displaying complex genomic data. Experience with security best practices and knowledge of securing web applications.
